It seems that whenever my RedHat 7.2 system restarts the cyrus-imapd server, all the mailboxes for all users vanish. In order to restore the mailboxes, I use cyradm as the cyrus user and cm user.* for every directory that I find in the /var/spool/imap/<letter>/<username>/* tree. Then I have to run (also as the cyrus user) /usr/libexec/cyrus/reconstruct -r user.username.
But if the server gets restarted, I have to do it all over again. Here
is some info to help give some clues. I am at a loss to explain this.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers,
Syd.
